THE SOLDIERS HOME.
An Architect Selected---A Christ
mas Dinner to the Veterans.


The trustees of the Soldiers home
held prOtracted meeting at the home
yesterday, at which the full board was
present, which included the following:
Henry A. Castle, president, st. Paul;
r. r. Henderson, Minneapolis; l.. A.
Hancock, Red Wing: William p. Dun
ningtOn. Redwood Falls; L. +. COwing,
Fergus Falls 4. \. Brown, Alexandria:
A. E. Christie. Austin; o. NJ. Sawyer,
Minneapolis. Gov. McGill and Mayor
Ames were also in attendance. The
selection of all architect occupied con-
siderable time. Designs were received
from L. S. Burlington, Warren Dunnell
and c. G. YOSt. Mr.. Dunnell was fin
ally elected architect, but no decisive
action was taken upon the plans. 1t is
proposed to erect in the spring build
ing to cost about $4,000,
which will accommodate over
100 inmates. This building is to be
used as home temporarily until its ca
pacity proves too small. By this time
another appropriation can be secured
and the cottage system can be adopted,
when the building will be used as hos
pital. It's intended that the heating
apparatus to be put in shall be sufficient
to warm the cottages as well as the
building itself.
A proposition from the Ladies' Relief
corps to give the veterans now at the
home Christmas dinner Saturday aft
ernOon, was approved, and Mayor
Ames, whose election as surgeon was
confirmed. was placed i'll charge. The
election of a superintendent of the
home was postponed to the next meet
ing. to be held the second Tuesday in
February.

A Paving Suit.

William J. Crabbee has brought an
action against Thomas j. Carney IL
Co., paving contractors, for s6,060.39.
He claims to have entered into con-
tract with the defendants by which he
agreed to pave certain streets with
cedar blocks at the agreed price of 10
cents per square yard, and to employ a
sufficient number of men to pave 1000
square yards day. The defendants
agreed to have the streets graded ready
for the paving and to furnish the cedar
blocks, sand, gravel and lumber at the
different places OH the streets where re-
CURED. The plaintiff alleges that owing
to the failure of the defendants to have
the streets graded, and the material for
paving delivered when required, he was
hindered in his work and forced to pay
a largh number of men while idle, and
also compelled TO employ them for a
much'lOnger time than was necessary to
have done the work had there been no

STRUGGLING FOR A JURY
For the Barrett TriaI-.The Court
House Blocked.


House Blocked.
Long before the time for opening
court yesterday morning the halls and
stairways leading to the large court
room were packed with struggling
mass of humanity, which completely
shut off all avenues of cOmmunica-
ton with the county offices and court
rooms. Parties having business at the
court house were in many cases unable
10 gain all entrance to the building.
Witnesses and jurymen were escorted
through the crowd by deputy SheriffS,
and p. B. Winston. after making a
futile attempt to reach Judge Rea's
court room, where a case in which
he was one of the defendants,
was on trial, was forced to
apply to the sheriff for aid in getting
through the crowd. The county officers
are quite indignant at the way the bust
ness at the court house has been delayed
by the crowds, and demand that the
halls hereafter be kept cleared. When
court opened Oh the Barrett case in the
large court room, the labOriOus
duty of securing the five
jurymen required to fill the
panel was taken up. George HOughtOn,
q
Juror secured yesterday, and was soon
followed by o. j. Roberts, a wagon
maker, who gave his residence as 105
Fourth street south. A number of men
were then called and excused on ac
count of bias. G. S. King and
+. p. Abbott were then per-
emptorily challenged by the de-
Tense. George OYermire, who Is
employed by Wheeler d Carter, grain
commission men, was accepted and
sworn, as were also w. A. Miller, who
keeps a butcher shop at 9l2 Fifth ave-
hue south. Then came a long list of
citizens who were excused for various
reasons, some for actual bias and sew
eral for not being naturaliZed, having
been born in foreign country. Fred
Chalmers and James lverSOn were
excused on account of deafness, and w.
W. Hayward, a real estate man, was
peremptOrily challenged by the defense.
Several more were excused on account
of actual bias, when the clerk announced
that the special venire of fifty names
was exhausted. The judge looked
at the eleven jurors i'll the box, and
asked the counsel if a venire for
ten more men would be sufficient. After
some discussion the counsel agreed on
Veni.e of fifteen, which number was
drawn, and the court took recess till
p. m, after delivering the eleven
jurors into the custody of a deputy
sheriff. The counsel for the de
Tense, during the recess, retired with
the BarrettS to one of the jury
rooms for consultation. The work of
finding twelfth juror was resumed at
4O'clOck, but the sheriff, owing to the
short time allowed him, had only sue
4 I,
of the parties wanted. who were all
either excused or peremptOrily chal
lenged, and court adjourned to TO 9
o'clock this morning. The defense
have exhausted their peremptory chal-
lenges. and it is hoped that the remain
ing vacant chair in the jury box will be
tiled this morning.
